ABOUT THE WINE
Potinet-Ampeau is one of few Domaines who hold vintages in their cellars for many years before release. This often ensures wines that are superb condition when they reach the secondary market.  The family has had strong links to the American market since the 1920s. The wines are delicate, characterful, and due to the unusual release process, often prove to be extremely long lived.
